Research Project
Discovering DoS attack on Ethereum transaction pool
- Discover the vulnerability of transaction pool in Ethereum clients by reading source code, testing cases and fuzzing.
- Report 4 unique attacks that can deny the service of transaction pool with 0 or low cost.
- Our team receives Bug bounty from Ethereum Foundation $12,000 (2021), $2,000 (2022), $4,000 (2023) and OpenEthereum/Parity $8,000 (2021)
Improving the resilience of the transaction pool against DoS attacks on Go-Ethereum client
- Design defense against transaction pool DoS attacks by tightening the TxPool validation rules. Ensure no vulnerability in our design of defense.
- Co-develop the patch code of the defense against transaction pool DoS attack and the code is merged in Geth client V1.11.4.
- Work as a contributor of Go-Ethereum (Geth) V1.11.4, https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.11.4
